Welcome to Dismantling Diet Cultured: F*ck Being Calladita

Welcome to Dismantling Diet Culture: F*ck Being Calladita, the only spanglish anti-diet podcast. I’m your host, Dr. Hortencia Jimenez, a queer Mexican immigrant of Wixarika ancestry. I'm a mother, daughter, comadre, amiga, community member, professor, health coach and published author. On this show I share personal experience, tips, strategies and education content to help you understand diet culture and systems of oppression so that you can have the tools to challenge diet culture. Current and future generations do not deserve to inherit your diet culture trauma and I’m here to help you.
